Agenda
• Introduction• Define Major Acquisitions• Steps for Successful
Management• Roles and Responsibilities• Conclusion
Vision for Space Exploration
• Complete the ISS• Safely fly the Space Shuttle until 2010• Develop and fly the Orion Vehicle
no later than 2014 • Return to the Moon by 2020• Extend human presence across the Solar system and beyond• Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program• Develop innovative
support technologies, knowledge, and Infrastructures
• Promote commercial and international participation
Commercial Resupply Contracts (CRS)
End-to-end resupply services to deliver cargo to the ISS including vehicle and cargo integration (12/23/2008 – 12/31/2015)

• Define “major acquisition”
• Identify successful management steps
• Define Roles and Responsibilities: Who are the key players?
Major AcquisitionsLearning Objectives
“Major System Acquisition”(NASA-Style)
• Category 1 – Nuclear power – Human space flight– Project LCC greater than $1 Billion
• Category 2 – LCC between $250M and $1B– High priority projects, LCC < $250M
• Category 3– Remaining projects
Definition of “Major Acquisition” is relative, depending on agency mission and budget.

Unique Aspects –Major System Acquisition
Performance based solicitations:• Describe mission capability in
generic terms (no specific systems)• Identify schedule/cost/capability
objectives, known constraints• Require use of Earned Value
Management System• Do not mandate or reference
Government specs/standards
Specific contract phasing coincides with major program/project phases:
– Concept exploration – Demonstration– Full-scale development– Full production
Beyond this broad guidance, the FAR is silent other than to require agency heads to develop their own procedures.
Orion - Phased Acquisition Using Progressive Competition (FAR Part 34, NASA FAR Supplement 1852.217-72)
• Down-selection strategy, phased acquisition• Single solicitation is issued for all phases of the program• Initial phase contracts are awarded • Contractors for subsequent phases are chosen through “down-selection” from the preceding phase
Orion Phased Down-select Procedure
• Progressively fewer contracts are awarded in each phase until a single contractor is chosen for the final phase
Learning Objectives

• Identify successful
management steps• Define Roles and Responsibilities

Acquisition Steps to Ensure Agency Commitment to Programs/ProjectsAcquisition Steps to Ensure Agency Commitment to Programs/Projects
• Focus on Life Cycle Costs• Requirements• Concept of operations
• Share information with industry ASAP
• Issue guidance on industry communication (Down select process)
• Manage organizational conflicts of interest
• Use Technical Resources Proposal Volume
Additional Lessons Learned
Learning Objectives
Define “major acquisition” Identify successful management steps
• Define Roles and Responsibilities: Who are the key players?
Unique Roles and Responsibilities
• FAR Part 34: • Program Manager is responsible for development of acquisition strategy
for major systems acquisitions• Agency head must reaffirm mission objective and ongoing need, approve
any contracts for full production
